Luncheon’s actions undermine national cohesion

By Stabroek staff | 2 Comments | Letters | Monday, October 15, 2012

Dear Editor,

Even though I have never voted for the PPP, I respected several of their senior personnel. I respected Dr. Jagan, Moses Bhagwan, Moses Nagamootoo and even some younger ones. There is no need to write the entire list. The point I would like to make is that I am less interested in party labels than I am in nation building. I therefore believe that regardless of one’s party affiliation, civil servants or government ministers must put Guyana first.

By the way, Mr. Brumell, I think you have begun to demonstrate that you will break with the past. Your public statements show that you are prepared to be a proud professional Police Officer rather than a political pawn.

I have strenuously contended that Mr. Luncheon’s usefulness to Guyana is long past. Mr. Luncheon in my view has given his best advice in the area of suppressing certain segments of the population. He has seldom embraced real change or progress. He seems hell-bent on control and domination. It is this domineering and insensitive attitude which I believe contributed to the Agricola road blocking situation. For a senior government official such as Luncheon to tell the people that “we are ready to rumble” while five mothers are still grieving for their sons who were slain by agents of the PPP regime is very sad and regrettable.

If the Guyanese public takes the time to research the real contributions made by Luncheon to the five presidents he served, the conclusion would be that after serving Dr. Jagan, who was more of a mentor, he had nothing else to contribute to society.

Many of us are convinced that the PPP keeps him around purely for window dressing and as he gets older the dressing seems to be in tatters.

Although Luncheon serves the PPP, I think that his actions undermine national cohesion. The fact that the young people have no jobs in this country is because of poor policies or no policies at all. Luncheon as a PPP advisor and Cabinet Secretary has failed the citizens of Guyana, especially the youths. He is head of numerous boards and most of them including the NIS are failing and falling apart. After Almighty God, he Luncheon is the next divine one, the all knowing oracle. Yet in the end, his conclusions, judgments or pronouncements reveal a lack of real common-sense.

How long will Mr. Ramotar retain such incompetence and expect progress will be anyone’s guess. The PPP/C believes in staying on point regardless of the calamity unfolding around them.

Yours faithfully,
Aubrey Retemyer

Yuh respected Jagan.

Man, he is responsible for the calamities. Is like creating a virus without having its remedy. Is no wonder the country is in a mess. Men who offers sane words turn around and corrupt those same words with, "I respect Jagan."

I am not suggesting cussing up the man, but truly analyze the demons he unleashed in the Guynaese society.

There are numerous jobs in the interior in the mining sector. These robbers in Agricola and other so called depressed communities are in fact content to wait for hard working people to earn money then relieve them of the earnings. If Brazillians and others can come to Guyana and make a living then we must question the assertiong that "young men can't find jobs".

National cohesion my ass. When you have one sector of the community focused on robbing and looting from honest hardworking people, and political parties sanctioning these criminals, what sort of cohesion is that?

The fact is the opposition has embarked on a campaign to smear the PPP govt whichever way they can, even supporting criminals. They hold a majority in Parliament, but instead of leveraging this, they are are more focused on PPP assault.

Your labels are like water on duck's back. Go to guyana and speak to Mr. Ramotar. I think he will listen to your good advice and become the PRESIDENT OF ALL THE PEOPLE , instead of behaving only like the General Secretary of the PPP.
